Oregon Public Utility Commission Staff Report on Trading Activities by Portland General Electric, PacifiCorp, and Idaho Power Company during the Western Electricity Crisis of 2000-01 (Proposed OPUC Investigation)
On December 17, 2003, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approved the settlement (Settlement) agreement entered into by Portland General Electric Company (Company) with the Staff of the FERC, the California Attorney General, the California Public Utilities Commission, the City of Tacoma, Washington, the Oregon Public Utility Commission (OPUC) and other parties resolving FERC Docket No. EL02-114-000, the California Case, related non-public investigations by the California Attorney General, and the Proposed OPUC Investigation.

(b) Portland General Electric Company v. Hardy Meyers, In His Official Capacity as Attorney General of the State of Oregon, United States District Court for the District of Oregon, Case No. 03-1641-HA, and State of Oregon, ex rel Hardy Meyers, Attorney General for the State of Oregon v. Portland General Electric Company, Multnomah County Oregon Circuit Court, Case No. 0312-13473
On November 26, 2003, the Company filed a complaint for Declaratory Relief in United States District Court for the District of Oregon seeking to end the Oregon Attorney General's investigation into the Company's participation in wholesale power trading markets related to the California energy crisis of 2000-2001. The complaint is based on Federal preemption grounds and judicial estoppel because the State of Oregon, through the Oregon Public Utility Commission, has settled with the Company on these issues. On December 16, 2003, the Oregon Attorney General filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. Also on that date, the Oregon Attorney General filed in the Multnomah County Oregon Circuit Court a Motion for Order to Show Cause why the Company should not comply with the Oregon Attorney General's investigation. The Company intends to contest the Motions.
